The Drinking OF Spirits q Social
Danger.

The Drinking OF Spirits a Social
Danger.
PARIS, June 24.-The Senate TODAY
discussed the report OF the Committee
on Consumption of Spirits. M. Claude
said that the committee had come to
the conclusion that the drinking oi
spirits in France had reached such a
hight as to be social danger. Alcohol
was essentially dutisble article, and
1t behooved the State to prevent it's
excessive consumption, at the same
time securing the utmost profit TO the
treasury by the suppression OF adul-
terations and other frauds. M. Rovier
approved the committees report. He
eaid the government would prosecute
fraud wherever discovered, and that
the revenue collectors would be in
structed to take vigorous action against
imposition.
M. Peytral, q Radical, has been elect
ed President Of the Budget Committee.
In the Chamber OF Deputies, Fol-
lieres, Minister of the Interior, stated
that Baron de Siellere had been placed
in an asylum at the request Of his fam-
lily; that physicians who examined
him concurred in the opinion that he
is Insane. 1t is therefore impossible to
release him.

Trust certificates on the New York
Exchange today bids fair to be a
"Black Friday" with large number
OF Little Rock capitalists, where up
ward Of $1,000,000 of these se-
cuIities are held. The fluctuations
on the Chicago Board of Trade last
week caused some little uneasiness
among our moneyed men lest the
panic should wind up on the New
York market, and eeveral holders OF
cotton oil got together and discussed
the outlook OF affairs but decided to
stand by the flag, "sink or swim"
The unsettled condition of the market
the last three days has caused anxious
hearts to look longingly for an increase
in their bonds, but today's closing at
43a cents sent everything to wind
ward, and now all are at a standetill,
wondering what the next move will
be. Between 100000 and $500, 900 ia
said TO have goOe by the board here
today, by owners refusing to longer
keep up their margins. 1t will in
deed be a lamentable disaster to manv
good people il an appreciation does
not take place in these securities.

The Grandest Eolian Harn.

The grandest Eolian harp in all the
world is that composed of the suspender
ropes of the Brooklyn bridge. Have you
ever stood on either platform at the tow
ere, and listened to the grand wild music
they give out when the wind, sweeping
from the north and west with the fierce
ness and force of a blizzard, strikes thems
The notes are by no means thin, nor are
they modulated to the diatonic state
They are, nevertheless, grand, awe in
spring, and musical They are ell of
the basso profundi order-hoarse, solemn,
deep. But if the ear be not dulled by the
voices of the suspender ropes, nor of the
mighty cables, 1t can detect, coming from
the telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires beneath, trebles that are in
consonance with the great organ like
sounds of the entire structure 1t is worth
visit TO the platforms, even In storm,
to listen to the grandeur of the weird
music that comes from the harp like cords
OF the bridge. Brooklyn Standard Onion.

Fancy Umbrella Covers.

Every woman will say that an umbrella
cover is a ''horrid nuisance, y if she says
anything about it, and she is very likely
to. Yet it is oil but a necessity. None
but an expert can roll an umbrella so that
it looks neat without cover, and silk
umbrella proves very frail thing indeed
unless it is kept encased. On the other
hand, when occasion arises to raise the
umbrella, what to do with the cover is a
very puzzling question to lady. A man
can stuff it in his pocket, but dressmakers
don't allow pockets nowadays. 1t must
be carried some way, and so necessity in
this case has proved to be the mother of n
fashion as well as of invention. When
the Fifth avenue girls put up their UNI
brellas they tie the covers in pretty bows
about the handles, and thus easily dis
pense with the nuisance. To carry an
umbrella without knot is all dead wrong
just now. The fashion has led to the
adoption of gayly colored covers, even
with plain black umbrellas.-New York
Herald.

Something About Bats.

It is difficult to lay down fixed rules for
the diet of bats, as, while some eat in
sects, they have been seen to neglect this
food, as it were, and attack their own kind
or weaker species. Mr.. Fraser, a natural
ist, who Travelled extensively in Ecuador,
describes one that went fishing diving
down to the surface of the water and pick
ing up small crustacaans which were
swimming near the surface. This bat,
according to the same authority, is very
affectionate. Referring to two kept as
pets, he says: "They were social, though
both were males, usually hanging side by
side. Sometimes they brought their faces
together and licked each others open
mouths in a most singular manner"
One of the most hideous of California
bats is the American nose leafed bat. 1t
has enormous ears and diabolical face,
and is believed by the average Mexican to
be vampire of the worst kind and to at
tack men and horses indiscriminately;
but, like other stories, it is difficult to
prove, the bat living upon insects as
rule The story of the vampire has been
denied and affirmed SO many times that
much confusion exists regarding it, and
in Mexico large number of bats are
termed vampires without reason.-Pasa-
dena Cor. Atlanta Constitution.

ANNAPOLIS MD, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 25, 1887


It appears that in this versatile city of
Paris the old farce of 1.-THE Bitter Btu is
still frequently enacted. This is the latest
representation that have seen recorded.
Not long ago the proprietor of fur
nished hotel-where rooms only are let
noticed the strange proceedings of one of
his dodgers. The latter remained all day
in his room, and, according TO the ser
wants, spent his time bending over a cop
per plate, which he seemed TO be engrav-
ing. The landlord watched and surprised
him. Before the engraver was placed o
fifty franc note, which he seemed TO be
copying. Near by another note was lying.
1t was damp and appeared to have been
recently printed.
'sWhat are you about, wretch?' cried
the landlord, and, while the surprised
forger was tremblingly pleading his pow
erty as an excuse for the crime, he exam
ined the wet note and compared it with
the model
''Why they are splendidly donep' he
went on, in genuine surprise, and sud
den thought took possession of his brain
cupidity mastered him.
"Why, you unhappy man, do you, with
your ability, content yourself with imi-
tating bank notes of so small a denomina-
tion as fifty francsT'
Because have no larger ones to serve
as models. Ahl if only had a 1000
franc oner'
'tI'll get one for you, replied the ava
ricious landlord.
The lodger laughed in his sleeve, and
soon after the accommodating master of
the house had laid the model 1000 franc
note on the shelf the supposed skilled
workman was suddenly called out on a
convenient errand to purchase chemicals
and another copper plate Needless to
add that he has not yet returned, and,
strange to say, neither the two fifty franc
notes nor the bill of larger denomination
can anywhere be found. Paris Cor. New

Sleep Painting, ApoIpcxy.

When a man is asleep, his pulse beats,
his lungs play, but he is without sense,
and you can wake him up.
If person faints, he too, is without
sense, but he has no pulse and does not
breathe.
Apoplexy is between the two; the heart
beats, the lungs play as in sleep and there
is no sense, as in fainting, but you cannot
shake the man back. to life.
In sleep, the face is natural; in faint
ing fit it has the parlor Of death in apo
plexy, is swollen turgid and fairly lived.
If a manis asleep, let him alone; nature
will wake him up as soon as he has got
sleep enough.
When person faints, all that is need.
ed is to lay him down on the floor and he
will come to- in double quick time. He
tainted because the heart missed beat,
failed for an instant, failed for only once
to send the proper amount Of blood TO the
brain. If you place the patient in hori-
zontal position, lay him on his back, it
does not require much force of the heart
to send the blood on level to the head;
but you set a man up the blood has to lie
shot upward to the head, and this requires
much more force; yet in nine cases out of
ten, if person faints and falls to the
floor, the first thing done is to run to him
and set him on a chair.
In apoplexy, as there is too much blood
in the head, every one can see that the
best position is to set man up, and the
blood naturally tends downward, as muh
so as water will come out Of bottle when
turned upside down, if the cork is out,

AwiGe's Wages.

Nothing more true can be said Of the
false idea that man supports his wife
than the following from an exchange:
Let man become widower and he
soon learns what the financial worth of
his wife was to him. When he is COM
PEELED to hire the food cooked, and, the
the garments made and mepded, the wash
ing and ironing done, he finds that one
half his income is required for meeting
these outgoes. Who saved this expense
before? Let the cold fingers and the 81
lent lips in yonder graveyard bear testi-
mony
It is said with truth that young man
can get married and keep house about as
cheaply as to live single and pay for his
board, washing, mending, etc; and whyg
Simply because his wife really earns al
most as much as he does.
The family purse should be as acces-
sible to faithful wife as to the husband.
What man would consent to become
partner in company in which his
brother partner should alone have control
of the company's funds? There is isnothing
more degrading and depressing to hard
working wife, than to feel that she must
beg like tramp for every cent she spends
beyond her food, which as truly belongs
to her as though she earned il as a domes-
tic or shop girl.
